VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER & WEST SUBURBAN STAY-AT-HOME MOM WHO GIVES SO MUCH GLEN ELLYN–Ever since Clare had children (now 20 and 21 years old), she volunteered in the community as a way to get involved while still putting her family first. She volunteered at Treasure House resale shop, Glen Ellyn Food Pantry , Friends of Glen Ellyn Library , and Glenbard Parent Series to name a few; and then came across the Glen Ellyn Fire Department . “When I realized that they were wanting firefighters rather than people to help in the office, I had second thoughts, doubting my strength and experience; but they taught me everything I needed to know to become a state trained firefighter,” Clare says. “So many times during training I looked at a task and thought I don’t think I’ll be able to do this, but I’ll give it a go. I now tell my children and friends to just give it a go, you may be surprised at the outcome.” Glen Ellyn Volunteer Fire Company has volunteers from all backgrounds and a variety of jobs bringing a vast amount of skills and viewpoints to the calls, which makes the department so great. This stay-at-home mom, in her mid-40s was willing and flexible to try something different and has loved every minute of serving her community. -Kristen Kucharski, Photos Submitted
